Question

Evaluate the integral by completing the square as a first step.

 

∫??(?2+8?+13)2∫dx(x2+8x+13)2

 

(Express numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed. Use ?C for the arbitrary constant. Absorb into ?C as much as possible.)

### Completing the Square Method in Integration

Evaluate the integral by completing the square as a first step:

\[
\int \frac{dx}{(x^2 + 8x + 13)^2}
\]

(Express numbers in exact form. Use symbolic notation and fractions where needed. Use \( C \) for the arbitrary constant. Absorb into \( C \) as much as possible.)

---

The original attempt to solve the integral is displayed below:

\[
\int \frac{dx}{(x^2 + 8x + 13)^2} = \frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}} \ln \left| x + 4 + \sqrt{3} \right| - \frac{1}{12} \frac{1}{(x + 4 + \sqrt{3})} - \frac{1}{12\sqrt{3}} \ln \left| x + 4 - \sqrt{3} \right| - \frac{1}{12} \frac{1}{(x + 4 - \sqrt{3})} + C
\]

(Note: The result is marked as incorrect).

### Explanation for Completing the Square

To evaluate the integral correctly, the method of completing the square is utilized to transform the quadratic expression in the denominator into a more integrable form.

1. **Complete the square for \(x^2 + 8x + 13\)**:
   \[
   x^2 + 8x + 13 = (x^2 + 8x + 16) - 3 = (x + 4)^2 - 3
   \]

2. **Rewrite the integral**:
   \[
   \int \frac{dx}{((x + 4)^2 - 3)^2}
   \]

### Continuing the Integration

This process breaks down the more challenging quadratic expression, allowing for easier integration using appropriate substitution methods or known integral forms.
